Description
OVERVIEW
As hospital systems adopt enhanced environmental hygiene protocols to combat COVID-19 and the ongoing threat of healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs), interest and demand for ultraviolet (UV) devices for whole room disinfection has increased. UV devices vary greatly in form factor, key operational and safety features and evidence for product effectiveness claims – all of which can make it challenging to evaluate a device. The goal of this program is to educate a broader audience on core UV device features to inform selection of proven, effective and safe UV devices.
